Pirate: Reincarnated as a Black Charcoal Orochi

But even though he was quite surprised, the swordsman who had experienced many battles would not stop in the middle of the battle just because of this.

Seeing that the flying slash was calmly resolved by the big snake, Mihawk did not have the arrogance to expect it to achieve success in one fell swoop.

Just a pair of eagle eyes staring closely at the big snake with a shallow smile on his face, but his body movements became faster and faster.

The whole body went limp as if all the bones had been ripped away in an instant.

The soles of the feet seemed to have transformed into the ability value of the Bubble Fruit, and they quickly moved towards the side of the big snake along with the body's limp center of gravity.

But even though the muscles and bones in his body were so relaxed, Mihawk's fingers were still connected to the cross sword.

Although the Orochi does not have a natural "Eagle Eye", its pair of eyes derived from the Yamata Orochi can see the details of how Mr. Mihawk even stretches out the joints on his fingers and the folds of his skin. It can be said to be light and tender.

But it was precisely because he could see clearly that Orochi, who was also familiar with swordsmanship and martial arts by analogy, knew it.

How incredible would it be to be like the current Mr. Mihawk and achieve such a degree of "power reduction" in his early twenties?

'However, it's not just that the whole body can achieve perfect reduction of force. '

A pair of slightly deficient snake eyes, although a little unreal in this electric light.

But at such a close distance, the serpent's domineering power of seeing, hearing, and color can even completely replace the function of the other senses.

With a kind of supernatural "hearing" alone, he can hear the sounds made by the tissues all over Mr. Mihawk's body.

'I see. Although it seems that the force has been completely neutralized, is it still stuck on the hilt of the sword by the muscles of the ring finger and little finger? '

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres. 】

The big snake became enlightened.

You must know that the so-called "killing force" is a saying spread from the Flower Country of the West Sea, which is known as the "origin of martial arts" thousands of years ago.

It refers to an ideal state of first eliminating one's own power invisibly until it is as light and unforced as a fallen leaf or a feather, and then eliminating all external forces that hinder oneself invisibly. .

Although the highest state is illusory, one can grasp some of its essence.

And applying it to other physical skills and even swordsmanship stances is enough to have an effect beyond ordinary people's imagination.

Not only can it better eliminate the inertia left by previous moves in battles where every second counts, it can also play a more perfect connection between various moves and methods.

Even this seemingly harmless martial arts secret can bring considerable attack power bonus to the martial artist who masters it.

'It's almost like a whip. '

Even Orochi's direction of developing the Haki of Haki is obviously towards a natural mind reader like the "Red Earl" Baloric Redfield, or towards a person like Princess Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom who can read people's minds. of infectiousness.

Therefore, Katakuri did not develop the supernatural ability to predict the future even in a short period of time, like Katakuri, who also developed the Haki of knowledge and knowledge that was not innate to him to the highest level.

But for the Orochi, which can be said to have eight brains nowadays, he wants to gather and analyze all the huge amounts of information detected by his too powerful knowledge and color haki in this short period of time, and then analyze the future. Development is judged, but it is not an impossible figure.

'Although the whole body seems to be paralyzed, the deep tendons are still intact.

In this way, the next slash will be like a whip, concentrating all the power of the body on one point.

The texture of the cross sword itself is quite soft, which is quite suitable for this method of use. '

Obviously seeing all this, Orochi didn't feel the slightest bit nervous.

Still just walking forward slowly, as if he didn't realize Mihawk's intention at all.

On the contrary, it was Kanjuro and Fukushou behind Orochi who were the first to react to Mihawk's unusual behavior.

At the critical moment, these two people didn't care much. They just wanted to rush to the big snake, and they couldn't even finish the words in their mouths:

"Orochi Temple...!"

"Be careful! Big..."

Perhaps they felt that their actions were a good opportunity to distract Orochi.

Mihawk, who was about to fall to the ground with the cross sword in his hand, immediately grabbed the ground with his seemingly slippery feet.

Then the force started from the ground, passed through the flexible body without any hindrance and reached the arm;

Then from the arm through the flexible wrist, it penetrated extremely smoothly into the cross-shaped sword that had turned purple and black at some point.

There is no "Qihe" that preempts others, nor is this sword move named according to the customs of the sea.

As if he was not good at naming his moves, Mihawk just swung this amazing sword without any trouble on his face.

Even Orochi, who is in his thirties, has the power of a veritable great swordsman, which is already an outstanding achievement in the history of Wano. However, looking at Mr. Mihawk, who is only in his early twenties, it is obvious that he is not at full strength. I still have to admit the previous opinions:

In this sea where even "innate qualifications" alone can determine a person's future.

Some people are indeed born to let the rest of the mediocre beings know that they are just the "worm" in the light of fireflies who dream of competing with the bright moon. If their luck is bad, even a little bit of light will never shine. out.

But under the light of this sword that first showed its majestic head and horns, the snake, who was admiring it in his heart, still remained unmoved.

'Guhehehe, so...'

From the moment he entered the entrance of the martial arts arena, until Mr. Mihawk launched two consecutive attacks.

Only now did the big snake's brows twitch slightly.

It can be said that the big snake looked at Mr. Mihawk's eyes intently. Even though he only had eyes for the future "world's greatest swordsman", his domineering attitude had already made everyone in the audience react. Into the mind.

'Kanjuro-san, Fukuju-san, even Mihawk-san...'

Looking at the purple-black knife tip that has cut through the air itself, it can be said to be "coming through the air" in a literal sense.

The big snake's expression was finally not the boring and boring look it had before.

But this was by no means a good sign for Mihawk who took the initiative to challenge.

The best evidence is that even the tip of the cross sword is tilted towards the temple of the big snake.

The distance between the two sides has reached a point where even the distance cannot be described.

There was a chilling arrogance in the corner of the big snake's eyes.

"Young man, are you looking down on me a little too much?"

Then I saw nothing.

Even Mihawk, who was closest to the big snake, still didn't see anything.

Kanjuro and Fukuroju, who lacked speed and lacked dexterity in their hands and feet, saw nothing.

As for those who were really paralyzed on the ground of the martial arts arena, the former leader of the underground society in each township and his group;

The samurai warriors in black charcoal robes who were in charge of the ceremonial guard and who were in the imperial escort team who stayed outside the martial arts arena and were not qualified to enter it, but could see the situation inside the venue through the unclosed door, were of course also Nothing was seen.

Even those swordsmen with insufficient skills could see something unusual in the sword light of the swordsman from the outer sea.

Different from the seemingly powerful flying slash earlier, this attack even had a weirder structure.

Even the outer sea swordsman himself didn't notice what happened.

The big sword in his hand was still in front of the snake's temple.

However, the inertial force accumulated by the previous self quietly disappeared without a trace due to an inexplicable factor.

So much so that the power of his sword completely collapsed the moment before he finally achieved his goal.

If it weren't for the densely entwined armament-colored domineering energy on the cross sword that didn't collapse due to this unknown factor, I wouldn't have noticed anything invisible around the blade because of my skin-like perception of the blade. obstacles.

Otherwise, Mihawk, who had seen a lot of the world, would really wonder if he had met another user with special Devil Fruit abilities.

Otherwise, why can't I see even the slightest clue about this with my "Eagle Eyes" that can see the essence of things?

"How could... Gu!"

Just when Mihawk quickly got rid of his constant state of shock, regrouped, and wanted to immediately continue to exert force on the cross sword approaching the opponent's temple to lay the foundation for victory.

Orochi, who had not stopped in the first place, just continued to take a step towards the position between the two parties, which was now only a slight distance away from the tall sword.

Just in time, Mihawk's body was within his reach.

It was different from Mihawk who used two powerful moves in succession.

The movements that Orochi made were simply when Mihawk had not yet used offense instead of defense and turned sideways to defend.

Quite gently, he placed the palm of his hand on his side.

'Well, the center of gravity of Mr. Mihawk's body right now...should be right here. '

This is also thanks to Mihawk's own stature, which is not much different from Orochi, the "short figure" among the gold medal players.

Otherwise, if the current opponent is a guy like the three future navy generals, who has the standard "general height".

Then the big snake's palm would inevitably be placed in some places that everyone would find quite embarrassing.

And since the bodies of both parties have come into direct contact, Orochi doesn't have a good habit of being polite in battle.

But shouting out the name of the move or the strange sound of "Kai" now doesn't go along with Orochi's fighting habits.

His mind was spinning like lightning, and even the big snake, who had a lot of time to think about these trivial matters even during the small shrinkage of Mihawk's hole, finally decided to at least let Mr. Mihawk know what trick he was defeated by.

So before the nerves all over Mihawk issued new commands to his muscles and bones, the serpent's words had already blurted out:

"Orochi Fluid Technique·Plundering Iron."

With just this sentence, Mihawk felt as if he had been hit by a spinning drill.

The whole person immediately jumped into the air, and spun in the air in a very interesting trajectory, making the sound of hunting wind.

Very interestingly, he fell hard next to the group of incompetent people who were bandaging their wounds just now.

'Gu, what on earth is this...'

"Your Highness Orochi! You are not injured...are you?"

"Your Highness Orochi, are you... okay...?"

"Guhehehe, you two don't have to be like this."

It was only at this time that Orochi, who seemed to have a hint of sincerity on his face, was greeted by two belated guards.

If this was a big snake, it would be just like a certain daimyo in the ninja world, just an auspicious five-piece with no power to restrain a chicken.

With such delayed guard protection, I don't know how many times it would take for my head to be dislocated.

'However, if that's the case, I can't just come and meet Mr. Mihawk without making any preparations. '

Use gentle and gentle movements that everyone present can see clearly.

The big snake slowly gathered the palm that had just knocked Mihawk away into his wide sleeves.

His expression was still indifferent, as if everything that happened now was normal.

From the beginning to the end, no one present today had the pleasure of seeing what the famous sword worn by the snake looked like.

For Mihawk, who is also a challenger and a swordsman.

This kind of ending, which cannot be said to be glorious despite defeat, is even more difficult to accept.

"This...what is, well, what?"

Although the place where the big snake touched was his flank, Mihawk felt that there was no pain anywhere in his body.

Even the most remote toe joints are fed back with bursts of burning pain.

Not to mention the ribcage, which is almost a foot away from the side of the abdomen. For Mihawk today, even the skill of talking and breathing is a skill that requires tenacious and firm perseverance to complete.

But before Orochi could say anything to this question, Kanjuro and Fukuro Shou couldn't help but shouted:

"What? The rude person who offended His Highness Orochi actually dares to talk nonsense at this time?!

Come on, hurry up and get this thief from the sea out!Immediately public execution under Black Carbon City! "

"You said so!"

Seeing these two people reluctantly saying that care leads to chaos, they began to go beyond themselves to issue orders here. Orochi was also a little amused by their reactions, but he still could not condone this kind of behavior that was considered overstepping.

So the big snake stepped forward, and also gently put his hand on the two deployments who were fighting side by side.

The ability called Piaopiao Fruit immediately acts on the clothes of inanimate objects.

Fortunately, the two of them were traveling as high-ranking officials of Wano Country today, and the clothes they wore were all of a tight and cumbersome type, so they did not show any signs of discomfort when the Orochi left them floating and retreated. It's so ugly.

Glancing his eyes downward, Orochi saw the cross sword that was still mixed with Mr. Mihawk's right hand.

Knowing that the swordsman he liked would definitely not lose his fighting power because of this injury, Orochi had no intention of taking advantage of this situation to threaten him.

His expression has returned to its original position, and he still speaks in an indifferent tone:

"All kinds of martial arts, this is the secret secret of the country of Wano, the 'Flowing Sakura'."
